# sync\_info - Monero

Example code for the sync\_info JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use sync\_info JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns synchronization status for the node, including peers it is syncing from and per-peer progress. Useful for diagnosing sync stalls.

## Parameters

* None

## Request Example

    "method": "sync_info",
    "params": {},
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'
```

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Rust (Reqwest)" %}

```rust

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::new();

    let payload = json!({

        "method": "sync_info",
        "params": {},
        "id": "getblock.io"

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="monero-javascript" %}

```javascript
import monerojs from 'monero-javascript';

const daemon = await monerojs.connectToDaemonRpc('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Most methods are exposed directly on the daemon client. For raw access:
const result = await daemon.getDaemonConnection().sendJsonRequest('sync_info', {});
console.log(result);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="monero-python" %}

```python
from monero.backends.jsonrpc import JSONRPCDaemon
from monero.daemon import Daemon

backend = JSONRPCDaemon(host='shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io', port=443, path='/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/', protocol='https')
daemon = Daemon(backend)

# For methods covered by the typed API, use the daemon attribute directly.
# For raw RPC access:
result = backend.raw_request('sync_info', {})
print(result)
